At this time, I looked up at the bronze statue in front of me and said helplessly: "Second Master Guan, Second Master Guan, you, the old man, don't care about that female ghost who is ripping out people's hearts and livers in your temple!"

After saying that, I grabbed a flat peach on the tribute platform and took two bites.

"This tribute shouldn't be given to you."

At this time, the smiling face on the bronze statue suddenly returned to its original state. I was so frightened that I turned around and ran away, but bumped into someone at the door.

"Ouch!"

I got up from the ground and rubbed my butt, and found that it was already dark outside the door, and the person who bumped into me was a grandma with a stooped figure and wrinkles on her face.

"Young man, who are you and why did you come here?"

I saw that there was some fragrant wax in the basket on the grandma's hand. I thought she must have come to Guandi Temple to offer incense, so I helped her up from the ground.

"Uh... I'm sorry, grandma, I'm blind."

I didn't make any cover-up when I said this, I looked directly at her.

Grandma looked at me thoughtfully and did not question my identity as a "blind man". She just nodded.

After that, she went into the Guandi Temple to burn incense, and then looked at the messy tribute platform.

"Did you eat these tributes?"

I nodded awkwardly.

Grandma sighed.

"Hey, you young people are really not particular at all. You dare to steal Master Guan's tribute without fear of retribution."

After saying that, she tidied up the altar and walked up to me again.

"Then where are you going?"

I remembered Uncle Liu's words, and I didn't say anything more at this time, I just repeated them.

"I'm blind."

Grandma was not surprised by my erroneous answer. She just said: "Young man, I just picked up some firewood outside, but my old bones have no strength. Can you help me carry it home?"

?

You can't see it with your eyes, old lady, I can guide you from the front."

When I heard her mention the word "lead the way", I guessed that she must be the person from Jizang Temple that Uncle Liu mentioned, so I agreed to her.

"Okay, grandma."

So the old woman used a stick to lead me in front, and I followed her carrying firewood.

I followed her in circles, walking among the barren mountains for more than half an hour, when smoke began to rise from the mountain col ahead.

I walked in and took a look, and found that there was actually a large blue-tiled building in that place, which was comparable in size to a small village. I thought this place was the Jizang Temple that Uncle Liu mentioned.

At this time, the grandmother in front of me suddenly stopped, turned around and said to me: "Okay, young man, now you should tell me your real reason for coming."

I told the truth about Uncle Liu's previous entrustment, and then took out the blood letter and Uncle Liu's ashes.

Of course I didn't take out the bloody letter about the gold reward and the engagement contract.

After listening to what I said, my grandma read the blood book again, her expression instantly changed, and then she led me into the Ksitigarbha Monastery without any further delay.

Afterwards, she took me to meet several people in charge of the Liu family, one of whom was Uncle Liu's younger brother Liu Zhengtang.

The whole family fell into silence after reading the blood book and ashes.

"Brother, he has already..."

At this time, I noticed that there was still a white silk hanging hanging in the main room of the Liu family. I guess it was because the funeral had just been held at home.

Later I found out that Uncle Liu’s father was the teller of yin and yang in this Jizang Temple.

There are four Xiuling families under Dizang Temple, namely Liu, Cao, Gan and Xie.

Although these spiritual cultivation families also belong to the yin and yang practice, they are different from the Taoist priests who practice genuine spiritual cultivation.

The main focus is on the four aspects of witchcraft, lowering one's head, lowering one's head, raising one's upper body to invite gods, and yin and yang spells.

Although their practice directions are different, the duties they perform are the same as those of genuine Taoist priests.

That is to pacify the affairs of humans and ghosts and maintain the balance between yin and yang.

The four families under Jizang Temple each have their own characteristics. They hold a fighting ceremony every eight years. The person in charge of the winning family is the Yin and Yang talker of Jizang Temple.

Before the next fighting ceremony, all the spiritual cultivators in Jizang Temple will obey the orders of the speaker.

A few days ago, the head of the Liu family who was the speaker was killed by the Red Lotus Fire Ghost. As the eldest son of Liu, Uncle Liu wanted to avenge his father, so he chased and killed the Red Lotus Fire Ghost for three days and three nights.

After that, the two sides fought randomly outside our village and both sides were injured, which led to what happened to me that night.

Now I have brought back the bad news about Uncle Liu, which is undoubtedly another heavy blow to the Liu family.

Seeing that their family was so sad, I felt a little embarrassed to mention the matter of becoming a disciple.

At this time Liu Zhengtang asked me: "Young man, your name is Yang Xinchen, right.

Apart from these ashes and blood books, what else does my elder brother want you to bring back?"

At this time, I suddenly remembered that there was also the skull of the Red Lotus Fire Ghost, so I quickly took it out.

Liu Zhengtang looked very shocked after seeing the skull.

"What, the Red Lotus Fire Demon has been destroyed?"

I nodded and told the truth about what happened that night.

Liu Zhengtang's face became a little strange after hearing this.

"So... the Red Lotus Fire Ghost actually died in your hands?"

I didn't understand what he meant by asking, so I just scratched the back of his head and said, "It's me, but it's totally opportunistic. The main credit goes to Uncle Liu."

Liu Zhengtang nodded thoughtfully, then waved to a fat boy next to him.

"Brother Xiao Yang, you must be very tired after traveling for a few days. I'll let you go down and have a good rest first."
